had escaped from New Zealand. Mr..

He visited me at the Jail, after I'd
been locked up two weeks, and said he'd
do what he could for me. That was the
last l saw or heard from him. The Eng

Immediate trial or have me released in
his custody. It's a common thing for
him to do, and it's made my blood turn
more than once to fad Americans laying
claim to English citizenship when they
get into trouble. The American Consul
is afraid to say anything or do anything
that might displease the native officials,
and so nobody respects the rights of
American citizecs. There's lots of ID.
justice done them, and could tell you
OF O hundred incidents.
"Esrly in October last some trouble
arose between the captain and sailors of
an American bark winch was acnhored
in the harbor. The captain sent for the
police and four of them boarded the
vessel. They met with opposition and
their arms were taken away. A large
force was then sent aboard the vessel,
and though they met with no resistance
they shot and killed four men. Two of
these were lying in their hunks in the
forecastle. The matter was reported to
the Consul-General and there it seemed
to stop.
"Another time the captain aud mate
OF an American vessel were taking some
food to one OF their sailors who was
locked up. They were ordered away
from the Jail in Spanish, but not under
standing the language, they were not
prompt in obeying. The soldiers there
upon beat the men over the head with
the stocks of their rifles, injuripg them
so badly that they were lald up for
long time thereafter, but the Consul
never interfered in the matter."-[N. Y.
